leaving messages as unread

[MaD dUCK]

hey,
using imp 2.2.3, i would like to be able to configure imp so that the
messages are either left as unread, or that users can mark messages as
unread.

the webmail interface is a front end for my pop3 users, and
specifically retarded clients (like micros~1 shit) fail to download
messages that have the Status: RO header.

how can i configure this correctly?

thanks,
martin

Is IMP using pop3 or IMAP? If it's using IMAP, then 2.3 lets you set flags on 
messages, and there might be a patch floating around to do the same for 2.2. 
Also, switching to pop3 access might solve the problem...
